  • Deepen your understanding and enjoyment of film and develop your critical thinking as part of a lively community

Year 1 introduces you to the academic study of the media, developing a broad understanding of key issues, concepts and debates in a variety of contexts. There is a particular focus on the impact of digital media and the convergence of old and new media. You will have the chance to apply this knowledge of theory and history in practical modules where you will develop digital technology skills. You will also take two dedicated Film Studies modules: Reading Film and Understanding Horror Film.

In Year 2, you will take more Film Studies modules (Contemporary European Cinema
and Science Fiction and Fantasy Film), as well as modules in media theory and research methodologies. The work placement module will help you start planning for your future career as a graduate.

Your final year will include both Media and Film modules and a year-long Extended Independent Project that will allow you to demonstrate the full range of your knowledge and skills in a deep and sustained fashion. You will also study modules in Gothic Film, Community Media, Celebrity Culture, and Stars.
